By Kunle Sanni –
The Super Falcons have arrived at the State House in Abuja, hours after returning to the country following their dramatic victory at the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
The team touched down at the Presidential Villa’s forecourt around 4:35 p.m. on Monday, proudly carrying the WAFCON trophy. They were warmly received by First Lady Oluremi Tinubu and other government officials.
Earlier in the day, the players had landed at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport around 2:00 p.m. and embarked on a victory parade across the capital city.
The motorcade made its way through Airport Road, Berger Junction, Maitama, and the bustling Wuse Market, drawing large crowds of cheering supporters along the route.
On Saturday, the Falcons staged a stunning comeback in Rabat, overcoming a two-goal deficit to defeat hosts Morocco 3-2 and claim their record-extending 10th continental title.
Jennifer Echegini scored the decisive goal in what has been hailed as one of the most thrilling WAFCON finals in recent memory.
